Video about which varieties of pepper are the most productive
The video below tells you what the most productive pepper varieties can be planted on your own plot. The southern region is being considered. It also talks about the advantages of hybrids over conventional garden species.
And also about what kind of harvest can be obtained from certain seeds if you plant them outside in open ground, or in a greenhouse. Of course, if we talk about greenhouses, then if you have one made of polycarbonate, then the seedlings will grow in it more quickly, and as a result, the harvest will also be quick.
As you may have noticed, it also talks about the varieties already discussed above, and there are also new ones that are also very interesting to learn about.
A very interesting point is that it is recommended to plant basil next to peppers and other nightshades, such as tomatoes and eggplants. This will reduce their incidence and stimulate growth.
When purchasing any seeds, pay attention to the information on the packaging: type and variety of plant, batch number, year of collection, number or weight of seeds, germination. Activities for pre-sowing treatment must be indicated separately. This may be treatment with preparations containing microelements for better growth, or with fungicides or pesticides.
Thus, plasma-treated seeds are more resistant to diseases and, as a result, more productive.
Communicate with sales consultants and find out as much information as possible from them. Buy good planting material and get excellent harvests.
All the best to you!
) capsicum. All of them differ from each other not only in color, shape, thickness of the walls of the fruit and its size.

Growing sweet peppers
In the southern regions it grows well in open ground, but in more northern latitudes greatest harvest obtained from pepper under greenhouse conditions. Sweet peppers have a herbaceous stem that becomes woody at the base over time. In places where the plant branches, single flowers appear.
Sweet peppers are a self-pollinating crop, but sometimes they are cross-pollinated by insects. Plantings of bell peppers should be located away from beds with hot pepper, since their mutual cross-pollination may occur, which leads to the appearance of a bitter taste in the fruits.
Sweet peppers differ from other crops in having a rather long growing season. The best varieties of sweet peppers (according to reviews from summer residents) are early-ripening varieties, in which technical ripeness in closed ground occurs approximately 100 days after germination. That is why this crop, both in mid-latitudes and in the south, is grown through seedlings. In this case, the seeds of early thick-walled sweet pepper are sown in boxes with fertile soil substrate in early February.
Sweet pepper is a rather demanding and heat-loving crop. Its seeds germinate fastest at a temperature of 25–27 °C. These plants develop best at 20–23 °C. It is noteworthy that when the ambient temperature drops to 13 °C, seedlings of sweet peppers and even adult plants stop growing.
When the first leaves appear, the seedlings are planted according to a 6x6 or 7x7 cm pattern into boxes or 1 plant per plastic cup. Before planting in open ground, pepper seedlings are hardened off for 7-10 days. Best on permanent place plant plants with 7-9 formed leaves. Seedlings are planted in open ground only when the threat of spring frosts has passed, since they die already at 0 °C. Plants are planted in rows, the distance between which is 40-45 cm. The interval between peppers should be 30-40 cm. It can be reduced when planting compact, low-growing varieties.
The beds for sweet peppers are fertilized in the fall. To do this, add 4-5 kg of rotted humus or per 1 sq.m. to the soil. plot or . Add 20-30 g per 1 sq.m. to the soil. Such soil fertilization can be carried out several days before planting seedlings in the spring.
To obtain the highest possible yield, timely care of plants and the creation of the most favorable conditions are required. Sweet peppers are planted in well-lit areas, protected from the wind. With a lack of light, plants stretch and shed flowers and ovaries. The soil for this type of pepper should be fertile, light and neutral in acidity. It must be constantly moisturized. Lack of moisture greatly inhibits plant growth, so without regular watering they become dwarfed, and the fruits become small and ugly.
Sweet peppers are sensitive to excess nitrogen. At the same time, plants quickly develop green mass, but at the same time the number of flowers and ovaries decreases.
At the beginning of August, the tops of the stems are pinched and all buds and flowers that will not have time to ripen before autumn are removed. After 10–15 days, the operation is repeated. During the growing season tall peppers tied to stakes or trellises 2-3 times.
To feed sweet peppers, use diluted bird droppings or a mixture of mullein and. You can also fertilize with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.
During the growing season, it is necessary to regularly remove weeds and loosen the soil. Sweet pepper fruits can be collected unripe (at the stage of technical ripeness). In the phase of biological ripeness, they contain more sugar, but if you wait until the fruits on the bush are fully ripened, the overall yield will be much lower.

Video review of sweet pepper varieties
Sweet pepper, which is called bell pepper, came from Latin America, where it is perennial plant. However, in Russia, pepper can be grown for several years only in room conditions. When the temperature drops to 0 degrees, it dies.
Bell pepper seeds
Pepper fruits are false hollow berries with a large number seeds attached to the walls. Bell pepper seeds are round, flat, light-colored yellow, with a diameter of about 3 mm.
All varieties of this vegetable are self-pollinating, so they can be grown in open ground and greenhouses. For growing indoors, only early varieties are chosen. They are preferred in northern regions. In the south and mid-latitudes, varieties and hybrids of all ripening periods can be grown. This allows you to extend the period of use of useful and delicious vegetable. Bees partially pollinate peppers, so bitter and sweet varieties are not planted side by side.
A pepper bush can reach a height of 20 cm to 1 m 20 cm. For growing in open ground in risky farming zones, it is better to choose low-growing varieties; tall ones are grown in a greenhouse.
The weight of one fruit varies greatly for different varieties: from 100 g to 500 g. At the time of biological maturity, they can be light yellow, bright yellow, red, purple, chocolate, brown.
During the period of technical ripeness, peppers can be light green or dark green. In this state they are edible, but the seeds are collected in a state of biological ripeness.

February is coming - the time to sow sweet peppers for seedlings. Not only the size of the harvest depends on how correctly this is done, but also the resistance of the plants to adverse weather conditions. How to grow a good harvest of sweet peppers?
I'll start with seedlings. Sweet pepper seeds are very “stubborn”: sometimes you wait three weeks, or even more, for sprouts. Therefore, you have to sow pepper as early as possible, sometimes at the end of January. The peculiarity of growing sweet pepper is that it is a very heat-loving plant.
That's why one of the conditions for success: growing pepper seedlings in a city apartment on a warm windowsill
peppers are difficult to transplant, but then forms a more powerful root system and outstrips untransplanted plants in development.
Before sowing, pepper seeds can be left in a wet cloth for 2-3 days. And one more secret of growing sweet peppers. He is a big touchy-feely person - he doesn’t like it when he is moved from place to place or when anything is plucked or torn off on him. For this reason, I never form plants, do not step them up, and proceed carefully when replanting, trying not to damage the roots.
I soak pepper seeds in epin and sow in a seedling container.
I take ready-made soil (for tomatoes and peppers). Seeds usually germinate in 5-7 days. I spill potassium permanganate.
When the seedlings produce the third true leaf, I dive(depth to the cotyledon leaves) into small cups in which the seedlings grow to the size of seven leaves. (I DO NOT bury the seedlings. I plant them at the level of the roots. LYUDMILA)
Feed sweet pepper seedlings you also have to be careful, otherwise abundant feeding You can burn young plants. For this I use a very good liquid product “Ideal” ((I feed Terra Lux-Lyudmila..). And if you create warm, comfortable conditions for the seedlings, then you don’t have to fertilize, the seedlings will make you happy anyway.
Water regularly in the morning with small amounts; excessive soil moisture causes widespread disease with blackleg and root rot. The only feature Solar hardening of seedlings is mandatory. Weeding and loosening are also necessary. Feeding mineral fertilizers timed to coincide with the next watering.
The best period for planting bell peppers is in the first ten days of June, when the danger of frost has passed, peppers can be planted in open ground. When planted on very hot days, the plants quickly lose turgor and, when their leaves touch the highly heated soil, they dry out.
I plant peppers in ridges at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other and with distances between bushes in a row of 20-25 cm. Peppers belong to the nightshade family. It has many diseases and pests in common with tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes, which must be taken into account when choosing predecessors.
When choosing a place in the garden for peppers It is necessary to take into account the following features of this plant.
Pepper does not tolerate even partial shade at all. It should be in the sun from sunrise to sunset. He needs not only a lot of heat, but also light. Besides, he doesn't like pepper. strong wind, especially drafts. Therefore perfect place for peppers - the south side of the house, protected from the winds and providing additional reflected light.
Pepper does not tolerate cold soil. Therefore, if you are counting on a serious harvest, it is necessary to raise the beds by 30-50 cm at least. Or provide underground heating. Many gardeners do not take this into account and if failure occurs, they blame the weather, the variety, the seeds and everything else. And the reason may be quite banal - the soil is cold and too dense. This is especially true for soils with a lot of clay. When the sweet peppers are planted in the garden, I water them only with warm water heated in the greenhouse.
Stepsonning - removal of lateral axillary shoots that have just begun to grow. Pinching is used on peppers to limit growth processes and mobilize the plastic substances of plants for crop formation. On pepper bushes, it is necessary to remove the stepsons and part of the upper flowers. (I DO NOT PICK UP PEPPERS)
pinching (removing tops) When the pepper plant reaches a height of 20-25 cm, it is necessary to remove the top of the main stem - this will form a compact bush with well-developed side shoots. Pinched plants will quickly begin to branch. Of the many shoots that appear, only the top 4-5 (stepchildren) are left, and the rest are removed. (I LOOK AT THE PLANT. I RARELY REMOVE)
I weed and loosen the rows at least five times a summer, I feed occasionally: I breed cow dung and water it with liquid. I don’t tie up the bushes - I put arches between the rows. Plants rely on them if there are a lot of fruits. That's all care. (I wither the bushes. There’s no other way (I loosen them 2 times per season. While the peppers are young. Then I mulch everything with mown grass)
Keep in mind that peppers are cross-pollinated. Therefore, never plant hot and sweet peppers side by side.- sweet will be bitter. (NOTE IS CORRECT)
It is better to place plants in open ground in pairs, separately for one male and one female species. This strategy, believe us, will give an excellent harvest. 20 pepper bushes are enough for a family of three people
The main thing for sweet peppers is to create warmth for them
Pepper seedlings are planted with distances between tapes of 2 lines (rows) - 80 cm, between lines - 50, between plants in a line - 15-17 cm (two-line tape method).
Plant care is as follows: weekly watering (400-450 m3 of water), loosening in rows and between rows, fertilizing. The period from germination to fruiting is from 110 to 140 days.
Plant the California Miracle - you will definitely have a harvest, plant it in the ground in mid-May, no later, and always under a covering material (some kind of non-woven)

We sow with Aunt Nyura; Boxes with soil prepared in the fall should be brought into the house two or three days before sowing so that the soil warms up. On the day of sowing seeds, Baba Nyura waters the soil in the morning hot water, but not with boiling water, and in the evening he starts sowing.
Sowing time. He sows in the evenings, focusing on the lunar calendar. During the full moon it does nothing to the earth. Tries to sow on the waxing moon.
Care. After sowing, cover the boxes with cellophane and place them in dark place. As soon as the weeds appear (no need to wait for the “loops” to appear), remove the film and expose the seedlings to the light.
The recess should be such that the tar does not wash away when watering the seedlings. Aunt Nyura is doing the same thing in the greenhouse when the seedlings move there in May. The seedlings are not watered with anything other than water.
For the first time after planting in the ground, he feeds it and waters it with Biomaster.
This fertilizer is especially good for acidic soil(and now it’s probably sour everywhere here). Has been using it for many years and has no regrets
Always with a harvest of peppers
Pepper seeds before sowing I soak it in a solution of phytosporin for two days(I dilute it according to the instructions on the bag).
The planting should not be deeper than 2 cm and not shallower than 1 cm. If planted deeper, the sprout will take a long time to sprout or may not sprout at all.
Sometimes gardeners make a big mistake when sowing - they over-moisten the soil., and the seeds do not germinate. The sprout hatches, but dies due to lack of oxygen and cannot breathe. In addition to moisture, the soil must also contain air.
After sowing the seeds, I water only lightly (1 teaspoon per cell) to avoid overwatering.. I cover the trays with film and put them in a warm place. Then every day I open the film, I ventilate, I monitor the seedlings. They appear on the fourth or fifth day. When at least one loop appears, I immediately place the trays in the light. Otherwise, if you wait until all the loops appear, the subcotyledons of the first ones will stretch out and they will fall. I water it every day with warm, settled water, 1 teaspoon per cell.
I water it twice a week phytosporin(for a 3-liter jar of water - 1 teaspoon of solution).
In the phase of 2-3 true leaves, I replant the plant from cells into half-liter milk cartons into a mixture of soil and vermiculite.
With such roots, seedlings grow very quickly, moreover twice a month I feed her: the first time - gumi, the second time - "Biomaster" or "Ideal".
I buy these vermicompost fertilizers in 3-liter cans.
I feed after two weeks with complex feeding: chicken manure, superphosphate, "Sudarushka".
Until July I give four feedings, only every time I alternate superphosphate with diammophoska.
And chicken droppings and “Sudarushka” in every feeding. And I also add herbal infusion to each feeding. In addition, for two weeks between complex feedings, I also feed with gumi, Biomaster or Ideal, mainly foliar.
It is useless to feed in the second half of summer.
It happens that dark purple spots appear on the leaves and fruits of peppers. This means that the plant does not have enough phosphorus. In such cases I do superphosphate extract: in 10 liters of hot water I dissolve 2 tablespoons of double or 4 tablespoons of simple superphosphate, leave for a day. The next day I pour the clear infusion into another bucket. The sediment, adding a little water, is poured under the bushes. I bring the clear infusion to 10 liters. Then I take 1 liter of infusion per 10 liters of water and water the bushes from a watering can over the leaves.
I do 3-4 such feedings. You can combine them with humic preparations (Biomaster, Ideal).
At the beginning of August I pluck out all the color, I’ll leave only the ovary. If you do not remove the flowers, then the fruits that have set will not grow large - they no longer receive enough warmth and sun. I cut out the stepsons that have no ovaries. The remaining fruits receive more nutrition.
Of the new products this season, we found the early ripening varieties attractive
Miracle Giant(fruits weighing 250-300 g, elongated cuboid, wall thickness 8-9 mm], Bugai (yellow fruits, weighing 300-400 g, wall thickness 10 mm),

and super early variety Morozko(simultaneously sets up to 20 dark red fruits, weighing 100-120 g, wall thickness 5-6 mm).
In the group of tall, large-fruited varieties(Boatswain, Baron, Mastodon) this season is also a worthy addition -
new products of Russian selection Tenderness, Miracle Giant, Raja.
We have in our collection our favorite permanent varieties of pepper, with which we have been friends for many years.
Alone (Anastasia, Shorokshary, Triton, Bogdan, Cinderella, Stepasha, Openwork, Sunny, Nugget] characterized by long-term fruiting and tasty thick-walled juicy fruits,
other (USA King, Lumina, Morozko, Ivanhoe) are attracted by their precocity. And although their wall thickness is small (up to 6 mm), we still plant these varieties every year in order to obtain vitamin products earlier. Our pride- varieties with heroic fruits weighing up to 500g - Red Giant, Bell Goy, American Crown. Pick one of these peppers and there will be enough salad for the whole family.
For lovers of peppers with a high carotene content, we recommend orange fruits ( Orange giant, Goby, Raja) and yellow-fruited varieties (Bugay, Marimba). Their fruits are large, weighing 200-400 g, juicy, sweet, thick-walled (8-10 mm).
The tomato-shaped peppers Marisha, Golden Jubilee, Solnyshko, Gogoshary, Kolobok, Ratunda, New Russian are very good. Their attractive, elastic, rounded, flattened fruits are the thickest (8-12 mm).
(In the greenhouse, I feed my peppers 2 times with an infusion of manure or grass.. When I plant, I add a teaspoon of universal fertilizer, ash and rotted manure, a little grass, if available.. I look at how much to feed by the bushes.. If the bushes are weak, then I feed infusion.. it increases growth and green mass.. If there is a lot of greenery, then you shouldn’t feed it.. it will fatten.. When the flowers appear, you can feed with humate.. LYUDMILA.
I feed seedlings, vegetables and flowers with this fertilizer..Lyudmila. I myself plant Atlant.California miracle.Health-early. some other varieties are yellow.
